Remember
when Haltom would wreck our wall & sign.......But Ronnie Morgan, Chip Driver, David Slaughter (yep, I said David Slaughter!)
and an unnamed ruffian stole Haltom's buffalo head........We thought double-knit, plaid bell bottoms were cool because so
many of us wore them........The "Hive Talkin'" skit with the bees during election week was sooo cheeseball........The
"Coleman Leroy" T-shirts (Kevin Archer '75) and shows after lunch, and being on Channel 4........Gary Phillips &
Randy Reeder always wore saddle shoes.......Our principal, Mr. Rice died........We had three principals in three years.......What
a big deal it seemed that Bryan Shilcutt quit the football team in the middle of the season........Having guy cheerleaders
(Cal Champion, Chip Driver, Randy Reeder, Donie Tipps) was far out........Chip Driver almost ripping his finger off and wearing
that boxing glove of a bandage for so long........The Oceanography class field trip to Freeport and John Batchelor & Tara
Toler getting caught with beer they bought from a guy in the motel parking lot and Mr. Tipps saying if he were our age he
would've done the same thing but "don't do it again." -- Mr. Tipps ROCKS!........Rebel Roundballers basketball uniform
shorts were reeeaaally short and the socks were reeeaaally long........The rebel flag didn't mean you were a redneck or a
racist, it stood for OUR school spirit........Tennis Coach Ms. Terri Adamson was mean........The senior trip to Washington,
D.C. where David Slaughter ordered room service cocktails delivered to the elavator on the floor below after hotel management
cut delivery off on our floor -- pure genius! David is more suited to this type of larceny than breaking and entering (see
above)........Same senior trip where Susan Mills, Susan Nelson and others took a cab from D.C. to Rockville, Maryland to see
a David Bowie concert........"Truth or Dare" at Dixie Belle section parties and taking the dare that involved doing
a routine in the street in pajamas at 3AM ~ how bad was the truth that they took this dare!........Gina Capaletti regularly
suffering urinary incontinence at section parties........Riding around at night in Kem Morgan's Camaro listening to Black
Sabbath on the 8-track player........Randy Myers and Liz Green driving thru Sonic naked........Every Friday after March everyone
went to Grapevine Lake or Twin Points........Chuck Smith streaking (we know HIS shortcomings)........Steve Belangia wearing
his bath robe over his clothes all day like it was normal........Only popular people were foyer sitters........Clay Carson
taking Melinda Parrish on a date and they drove around looking at the popular people's houses ~ I thought they all lived in
the foyer........Can Randy Crites tell yet whether a girl likes him?........Couples who hung all over each other with hands
in each other's back pockets and they walked so damn slow in the halls........Mike Hamelwright arguing that Susan
Nelson was not a Christian because she's Catholic........We were the largest RHS graduating class at the time........The go-cart
place on University Drive........13th National Bank, a dive bar on Lancaster where some of us were bombed........Speaking
of bombed, did Greg Marshall ever figure out ZZ Topp is a band not a person?........Spencer's Corner, Spencer's Palace, Speakeasy,
I Gotcha, Quick Draw, Pioneer........Getting through Mrs. Spinosa's algebra class because Larry Tucker let a certain person
cheat off him all year-Thanks for getting me graduated Larry!........For some reason we hated parking stickers........Maybe
Mr. Bradford is now a member of the "!!!Bourgeoisie!!!"......Poker games for hundreds of dollars and no ante left........Kim
Stampke's ambition was to travel to the moon -- I understand she's made it........Tina Talamini was RHS's first woman president........Tina
Talamini passed out on a coffee table in a hotel in Washington, D.C. (a pic of this exists somewhere)........Mrs. Hunter was
a good teacher........Cindy Cash was always mad about something........Band geeks (except Cindy Cash) were really doing the
same things everyone else was doing........The West side of Fort Worth was THE place to go because absolutely nothing was
on our side of town back then........Those outstanding role model Dixie Belles Candy Jones and Tara Toler drinking before
a football game and performing while, uh, happy. (I see a pattern; Did Tara go to rehab?.........Ronnie Smith was, and still
is, a really nice guy........Mr. Alexander & Mr. Lambert patrolling the parking lot........Basketball coach Tommy Newman
looked a whole lot like the sports/news guy Verne Lundquist........The Class of '74 seemed so much older........What genius
decided a giant bunny in all the club photos for the '76 annual was relevant?........
